Sincere advice - my magick is not working, why?

I find the opposite works for me. I know the magic is going to work so I sit back expectantly and let it happen. There have been times in the past where I’ve tried to speed things up in the outer world by pushing for the result to happen and it usually only results in things crumbling before my very eyes.

Might not work for everyone, and I understand it’s not necessarily always workable advice (to do precisely nothing in furtherance of your goal) depending on the situation, but it works best for me.

Want is the key word here – you can’t want what you already have. You can appreciate it, love it, be grateful for it, etc., but you can’t feel the lack of it. For instance, I don’t get into my car every morning thinking “Oh man I really want a car. My life will be complete once I have a car. I wonder how long until I get my car? My car is on its way to me now” – it wouldn’t make sense to want the thing I already have.

“Lust for result” is a nebulous concept distilled into a short string of words, which eventually becomes a cliché and loses meaning entirely. It can mean obsessive slavering after your outcome every waking moment; questioning whether the magic is working or when the result will show up; or it can be a more innocuous simmering focus on “want” and “lack”.

Generally there are no shortcuts to getting around it when you’re starting out and casting rituals for something you desire greatly. But it becomes easier with time. Or you can check out the below threads:
